Prayer Times in Tehran — September 2029

Reading the September 2029 table

Accurate prayer times for Tehran on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:08, Shuruq 05:36, Dhuhr 12:05, Asr 15:43, Maghrib 18:52, Isha 19:41. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Tehran timezone (UTC+3:30), the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Tehran is listed under Tehran in Iran. The engine uses 35.6892 latitude and 51.3890 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Tehran. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The urban area is on the order of 8.7 million people.

For the latitude of Tehran, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:36 and Maghrib is 18:52. Dhuhr (12:05) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Iran, and why this page is calculated from Tehran’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran method is the starting point on this Tehran page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Tehran (Iran) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Tehran is 218.4° from true north (SW), about 1,944 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Qom (126 km), prayer times in Isfahan (338 km), prayer times in Tabriz (528 km), prayer times in Shiraz (687 km), prayer times in Mashhad (743 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Tehran is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
